many people say well, it's not too unlike the plan that governor romney put forth. amy, what do you think voters are thinking about in terms of the health care debate? >> i think mitt romney has it right in the sense that obama care is unpopular. pieces of it might be popular, but mitt romney's been campaigning that he would repeal obama care and replace it with pieces that are popular, but this whole idea about social issues i think is so fascinating and underreported that really it's the obama campaign and the democratic party that has tried to make this a social issues election. even turning questions of taxation into a question of fairness, not one of fiscal responsibility or sobriety because at the president himself said, you don't raise taxes in a recession, and we're still certainly struggling along in this economy. so taxation has been turned into a social issue. we saw in the mid-term election that 31% of gay men and women actually voted for the gop so. what did you see at the democratic convention? gay marriage being touted. finally, on women's issues. if

how is that different than what happened with the press conference with governor romney where the reporters got together and decided on the questions before the governor came into the room? guest: there is nothing wrong with speaking to each other before the press conference about what you are going to ask. it is different to say, "lets all ask this over and over again so we get the answer we like." that happens in the white house press room, too. when these guys would pound ari fleischer. someone wrote a column in which it was unfair for him to call on goyle and ruin the mojo of people who were all asking the same question. again, if i had been there, i would have asked a different question. i think it is good to ask a variety of questions, and they do not think anyone should say it is a terrible thing to ask a different question than everyone else. host: we are talking with tim graham, director of media analysis at the media research center. we are hoping not to wreck anybody's mojo. we have a tweet asking our guest about it would claim media bias if mitt romney were ahead in the polls. g
